I have been a Firebase user for quite a few years now, since 2016. In that time, I have seen Firebase grow and change as a product. I have also seen the problems people have had with it, as well as the successes.

Googling opinions on Firebase will yield mixed results.

Some are for Firebase and its all-inclusive platform offering features like authentication, a NoSQL database called Firestore, storage, hosting, Firebase Functions (basically AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions). Others advise against Firebase because of issues around costs and how the use of resources (reads and writes) are counted.

The biggest upside (and possibly a downside) is that Firebase makes it easy to build applications on it. Perhaps its best feature is Firebase Authentication, allowing you to use the SDK to easily add in a plethora of different authentication options as well as numerous OAuth providers.

The authentication feature alone is a massive selling point of Firebase, it saves you hours (possibly days) of authentication-related headaches, especially for OAuth authentication which in 2020 can still be a painful nightmare to implement.
